Merry Christmas everyone!  After about a week of cold dry weather it started snowing last night just in time for CHRISTMAS!!!  We went outside to shovel snow and our awesome neighbor Gary was snow-blowing our sidewalk and driveway!

We got lots of presents for Christmas! Here me and Jasper are looking through a box of gifts that Auntie Darcy sent to us. Some were wrapped in Angry Birds paper ha ha!

Here are just some of the super duper presents we got!!!

The best gift of all was from Nicolyn. Someone accidentally put their paw through the gift wrap so we kind of knew what it was so we decided to open that gift right away so we could use it.  It is a scarf that Nic hand knitted and it is a beautiful blue color and long enough for both me and mom to wear it at the same time!

This long weekend we are working on a project to reupholster the dining room chairs.  We picked out this cool green material to use and we got new thicker foam too. The back of the chairs are tricky because it curves and the fabric does not stretch, so we are not done with that yet we decided to use panels and now we need some upholstery tacks.  I wanted to help but my paws are too big to hold the nails so I suggested that I could use the hammer while mom held the nails but she said no thanks.  She also did not want any help with the staple gun or the glue or the razor blades or the scissors.  Mom said I can help the best by Playing Quietly.  

OMG it has been snowing like crazy!!!  We could not find the ruler but this is how much snow we had yesterday on the deck. Then last night and today it snowed some more!  Yayyyy!  Mom has been doing a lot of snow shoveling.

It is so fun to play in the snow!!  Tigers LOVE the snow!

The trees and bushes are so beautiful covered in snow it is like magic.

Yesterday was the company annual Holiday Party!!!  Here I am with my good friend Margo who lets me drink BEER!  mom does not let me do that she says Margo does not have to deal with me afterwards. Also in the picture is Rita who is so beautiful and nice.

There was PIZZA at the party!  It was from David’s PIZZA and they made the pizzas right there on site! It is a vehicle that looks like a fire truck!  Ha ha that is a funny idea!

Here I am with Jaime and Chris who are both super handsome and smart!

And this is me with Scott who is also very handsome and funny and works in Finance.

This is Jose who is really nice and very handsome and seems to be concerned that I might get too close to his BEER.  ha ha!

Here Carolyn is giving me a Kit Kat because I am a TIGER!

It was a great party!  There was Ben & Jerry’s ICE CREAM and a band playing music and mom won a prize which was a purple gift box!  with a gift card inside!

We went to see the holiday lights at Gaiser Conservatory in Manito Park!

They had a lot of cactus that looked awesome with the lights!

Our super duper neighbor Maggie gave us a wreath to hang on our door!!

Also this week we met Soren who came to our house to take care of some plumbing issues and fix some siding that was loose. Soren was super nice and handsome.  He fixed everything and best of all his shirt matches my bandana!

This weekend a market that we go to was having a CHEESE festival!

TIGERS love Cheese!  This picture shows how much!

Also this weekend we met Brian who is the best Salvation Army Bell Ringer ever!  He was super cheerful and friendly with everyone and is very handsome!

After that mom made me a new holiday bandana!  With a reindeer on it!!!
